HRERA awarded £65 lakh in compensation to the homebuyer for the significant delay in flat possession.
The delay in handing over the flat to the homebuyer was over nine years.
The builder cited unforeseen circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the demise of the EIA committee chairman, and inadequate water supply.
No, HRERA rejected the builder's justifications, stating they were insufficient and did not qualify as force majeure events.
The ruling underscores HRERA's commitment to developer accountability, reinforces homebuyers' rights to timely possession, and clarifies the definition of force majeure events.
